The Finest Gaming April Fools

One of those threads that I hope will be resurrected once a year: what are the best gaming-related April Fools you've seen coming out this year?



We'd all play this, let's be honest.

This is a fun daft one. Whereas this is just sick.

Thankfully I saw that Monster Hunter one late last night and knew it was bullshit instantly.

That platinum video

Ubisoft have nailed it with their Rainbow is magic playlist for R6 Siege.



And here's a little clip of me playing it.

Needs some Erasure playing in the background!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
505 Games and ArtPlay are proud to announce the 'Bloodstained: Bloodstained Edition’!
For only $999 (or $666 for Kickstarter backers) true Igavaniacs will receive the game on the platform of their choice, encased in 0.5 liters of blood drawn from famed game creator Koji Igarashi. 

Each pouch will be one in an exclusive, limited-number collector’s series, featuring handcrafted, laser-printed details like collection date, blood type designation, and a barcode of authenticity that definitely can’t be scanned for any hidden messages. 
Quantity will be limited to 10 and will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Although we are excited to offer this ultimate edition to fans everywhere, we do need to provide some disclaimers:

• 505 Games and ArtPlay accept no liability for any damages, injuries or loss of profit due to misuse of the Bloodstained: Bloodstained edition—including but not limited to transfusions, ingestion and attempting to use the game disc.
  
  
• Ships internationally with the following exceptions: North Korea, Transylvania, international waters, Antarctica, Pangea
  
  
• Our legal team commented on cloning: “What? No that won’t give them rights to the game. What are you even talking about? Who do you report to?”
  
  
• Blood processing services provided by Dr. David Chang.
  
  
• Blood type may or may not be accurate. The brand manager forgot to ask IGA what his blood type is.
  
  

That Nintendo Direct was brilliant.

Still didn't show Mother 3 though, so I can only assume that's not counted under "everything".
